Sorry wrong link, proper one added, it cost more as its a bigger part ,as in all of your stalks are replaced in the newer cars as apposed to just on the one stalk in older cars, plus you need a new controller.

Hi guys,
I have a 2010 60 plate Scirocco. After waiting 1 year for Cruise Control to be retro-fitted, I rang up my dealership, who said that VW are still unable to retro fit CC. I gave them a hard time and they sent around a 3rd party company to retro fit it for me yesterday.
The company:
http://www.satnavsystems.com/main/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I haven’t had a chance to try it out on the motorway, but so far so good. I have managed to test it on my short journey back from work (30 mph zones lol).
The company had never fitted CC to a 2010 Scirocco before and said that there was an 80% chance of it working. It only took the company 30 minutes to install it and it looks to be a complete success! I did not have to pay a penny extra as SatNav Systems will invoice my dealership the amount!
Happy Days!

DOUBLE the price if you're in a >2010 roc??
is there an engineering reason for such robbery, or are they just playing the game?
i think i'll stick with calf control and a bit of concentration...

Their site says plus vat so £360. Given the parts are around £250 retail, £110 is an awful lot for half an hour's labour and a bit of coding. And I bet they get the parts at trade too...Shaun wrote:£300 for cruise fitted by http://www.vwcruise.com/129.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Today I ran etka 7.3 update 870, and in the genuine accessories-cruise control system there is one with the code 5K0 054 691 A. By clicking it i do not see any remarks for which steering wheel controller unit it is intended for. Moreover, the price shown is 85,19 euros (maybe 85,19 pounds) 
. Does this mean that replacing the steering wheel controller with the H unit is not needed anymore? Thanks in advance.

VW has these new kits instock ready to go but they arent releasing them until they have done technical checks on uk cars,i expect they will be available pretty soon.

I really hope that the new stalk does not need changing the steering wheel controller... if so, retrofitting will cost almost the same as 2009 cars, around 150-180€...Starshaped wrote:VW has these new kits instock ready to go but they arent releasing them until they have done technical checks on uk cars,i expect they will be available pretty soon.
Re: Retrofitted Cruise Control post week 45 (2010) cars only

I had this same issue, but they didnt tell me till I had arrived to pick the car up and then they had there valeters scratch every panel instead! Fair awap apparantly....still arguing this case and so far I havent got anything free and when leicester had it back to re cut and mop it (only 100 miles out of my way) they did a half arsed job of it!ashley1407 wrote:Hey Guys and Gals.
Just a quick heads up for everyone. I phoned VW head office in Milton Keynes the other day wanting to check out the situation if you want to retrofit cruise control to your Roc. The story so far:
I opted to have cruise retrofitted to my car as it was cheaper that having it as a factory fitted option. When my car arrived at the dealers they attempted to fit the cruise but the connections were different to what they were expecting.
It appears as though there was a hidden change in the week 45 (2009) cars that meant the current VW retrofit kit was made obsolete.
So to cut a longer story short the retrofit kit for post week 45 cars does not yet exist but will be released 'imminently' whatever that means! The moral of the story is don't be a cheapskate and order it as a factory fitted option so that you don't end up waiting like me!
Ahh well, I'll try and squeeze some discounted stainless sill plates out of the dealer for my waiting!

Any news on the stalk with the new code?

The kits are available now but they are supplying them to people who have been waiting for them first,get in touch with your dealer and they will be able to get one for you by emailing volkswagen your details.
You have to change the ecu if you have one of 3 or 4 control units which arent compatable fitted and a steering wheel bolt which they say must be replaced.

So after all the steering controller has to be changed. That is strange, because in the ETKA the older stalk had a remark saying that the steering wheel controller should be compatible... The new stalk with the different order code doesn't say anything about that...Shaun wrote:Change the ECU !!!!, or just the steering controllerStarshaped wrote:The kits are available now but they are supplying them to people who have been waiting for them first,get in touch with your dealer and they will be able to get one for you by emailing volkswagen your details.

On VW accessories they still quote £195 for cruise and there are no caveats. Wake up VW!!!!
